Hey Pleasant,

I had that BQ goal but it kinda blew up a few months ago with a knee problem and then a hip problem. Now I'm on the triathlon path...not necessarly intentional but I've had to start biking and stop running for a while. Today I completed a triathlon by running (a short run) biking and then jumping into the shower (I'm counting that as a swim :-). Welcome to the BLOG...!!

Thanks for the "Welcomes". I feel ready for the tri in a little over a week- .9 mile swim, 12 mile bike and 5k run-

I did start the official Boston qualifying training this past Sunday- 10miles in 1:23- my goal is to come in at 3hours at the qualifying run in March. Any suggestions on shaving off time/ increasing speed that won't leave dead to the world?

I would ask Paul or Sasha. But I don't see any way around being dead to the world. :)

Burt's suggestion is good. I'm not a very experienced runner and as you can see from my Blog title "I Just Run" ...!
